Using diversity of experiences, backgrounds and interests as a resource, this seminar will explore various topics in Comparative Culture Studies as well as Communication. Expanding on models of culture and communication including, (Hall, 1976, Kramsch, 1993, Byram, 1997)students will connect products, practices, people and communities with perspectives and differences in communication. These models will be used to explore how our ideas of culture and identity are constructed and how these are maintained in the mass media today. Themes will be introduced and developed using the textbook, but students are expected to make weekly contributions through mini presentations and assignments based on their own research and experiences.
